Sorbitol was detected in the fruit and leaf of Japanese pear, as well as in those of apple. Soluble sugars in the fruit were mainly composed of sorbitol, fructose, glucose and sucrose, and fructose was the dominant component among them. On the other hand, sorbitol was the main component in the leaf.At an early stage of watercore, sorbitol, fructose and glucose were accumulated, but as the watercore became severer, sorbitol and sucrose were accumulated mostly in the affected tissue. Moreover, the decrease in respiratory activity and pectin contents, especially protopectin, was already observed in the affected tissues even at an early stage. This tendency too became more conspicuous with severer watercore. From the above results it follows that the alteration of sugar metabolism and the degradation of cellular tissue may be connected with the appearance of watercore in Japanese pear.
